For example, when a user wants to input an upward direction, the fingers are moved from bottom to top on the numerical keypad 111. An operation content extraction part 17 outputs the directional information according to the movement direction of the user's fingers on the basis of the combination of keycodes entered sequentially from the numerical keypad 111 and the storage contents of the storage part 16. A control part 18 controls the movement direction of the cursor and the scroll direction of a screen according to this directional information. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
